Rhode Island's Share in the War 



The War of the Austrian Succession having broken out between 
England and Spain, the General Assembly of Rhode Island met in 
February, 1^39-40 and made provision for putting the Colony in a 
state of defence. Rhode Island also sent two companies of volun- 
teers under Capt. Hopkins in the unsuccessful expedition against 
Cartagena in 1740. 

France entered the War in 1744 and the defences of the colony 
were on that account still further strengthened. A force of 150 
men was raised in 1745 for Shirley's expedition against Louisbourg, 
but the Rhode Island contingent did not arrive until after that 
fortress had surrendered.* In the following year Rhode Island 
sent three more companies to Nova Scotia under Captains Sayer, 
Rice, and Cole. 

By far the greater part of Rhode Island's effort in this conflict 
consisted in Privateering. A large number of these vessels were 
sent out each year and they inflicted great damage on the enemy's 
commerce. The Colony sloop of War Tartar was built during 
this war and was of much use as a scouting vessel and convoy 
guard. 

This war, known in the Colonies as King George's War, came 
to an end in 1748 with the peace of Aix-la-Chapelle.
